• Revise and update existing engineering drawings to support plant retrofit, modification, and upgrade projects.
• Review existing drawings and design documentation to ensure accuracy and consistency with project requirements.
• Participate in plant-site walkdowns to obtain field measurements, dimensional information, equipment locations, and other data required to support engineering designs.
• Incorporate field-verified information into drawings and models.
• Coordinate with engineering and design personnel to resolve drawing discrepancies and clarify technical requirements.
• Maintain drawing accuracy, quality, organization, and appropriate revision control throughout the design process.
• Apply applicable engineering design principles, drafting practices, standards, and procedures.
• Assist with identifying and resolving design or constructability issues.
• Support project teams in meeting established schedules, milestones, and deliverables.
• Lead or coordinate smaller drafting/design assignments or projects as required.
• Communicate effectively with plant personnel, design engineers, project team members, and vendors.
• Build and maintain effective working relationships across engineering, design, operations, and vendor teams.
• Maintain a strong commitment to quality, safety, accuracy, and design excellence.
• Perform additional drafting and project-support responsibilities as assigned.

Required Qualifications

• 7–10 years of professional drafting experience.
• Demonstrated experience working with 2D and 3D CAD software.
• Experience developing and revising engineering drawings and models.
• Ability to interpret technical drawings, sketches, specifications, and engineering information.
• Experience supporting engineering, industrial, utility, plant, or similar technical projects.
• Strong understanding of drafting practices and engineering design principles and standards.
• Experience collecting or incorporating field measurements and dimensional information into design documents.
• Ability to independently manage assigned drafting responsibilities.
• Ability to lead or coordinate a small project or design assignment.
• Strong attention to detail and commitment to producing accurate, high-quality work.

Preferred Qualifications

• Associate’s degree in Drafting and Design or a closely related technical discipline.
• Previous experience supporting plant retrofit or modification projects.
• Experience conducting or supporting plant-site walkdowns.
• Experience working directly with engineering teams, plant personnel, and vendors.
• Previous experience within the utility, power generation, industrial, or energy sector is beneficial.
